Capcom·Released Jul 14, 2023·Multiplayer
Exoprimal is a co-op action game with a competitive edge. Two teams of five players in powered armor battle hordes of dinosaurs. Only one team will survive.
Exoprimal keeps its cards close, saving some of its best moments for later.
Exoprimal may be feature-thin, but its creative subversion of expectations impressed me and I hope others study its approach to telling a robust narrative within a multiplayer framework.
Welcome to Exoprimal, where everybody’s gone to the raptors.
Capcom’s nostalgic romp through the halcyon days of hero shooters has pacing issues
A low-stakes team shooter where racing to slay dinosaurs has its wow moments, only most of them are locked behind a baffling disrespect for one's time.
A white-knuckle fusion of Overwatch 2 and Gears of War, the excellent Exoprimal is one of the best co-op shooters in quite some time. With a varied, entertaining roster of characters, all with unique playstyles and synergies, there's tactical depth to this third-person shooter which only serves to make its pulsating prehistoric battles all the more rewarding. While it is a little lightweight at launch, and there will be questions over whether it'll receive the post-release support required to ensure its longevity, there's the foundation for something truly special here.
Exoprimal is a bold and fun hero shooter that is very much sticking with some early repetition to get to the incredible surprises that lie in wait in the back half.
"There's simply not enough variation here to keep Exoprimal feeling fresh after a dozen or so hours"
